Pages: 2481-2487
Abstract
Work for many has shifted in recent years due to the rise of the "gig economy." Many researchers from many disciplines have been drawn to this new area of study. There is an urgent need to compile and link research results that serve as a foundation for future conversations, given the topic's reality and the range of opinions surrounding it. First, we establish a starting point by reviewing the literature on the gig economy, gig work, and related subjects. In particular, we classify gig workers, gig jobs, and digital platforms within the gig economy literature and draw various applicable findings. Finally, we suggest directions for further study by pointing out key omissions from the current body of literature on gig economy employment.
